I was very lucky to co teach with Mrs. Noble-Wilkins today at Adams Elementary. Her students have been researching African Americans that made a difference in our country, both past and present. The class put their weeks of research into a poster to display in the hallway. Mrs. Noble-Wilkins and I decided to take it a step further.
After our planning meeting we decided to put a social media spin on their projects. The students made Facebook pages for the person they were researching. We didn’t make actual Facebook pages, however we used a template that I made in Pages. The students had a blast making status updates as their African American that made a difference. I was very impressed by creativity the students showed. My favorite status update “About to escape from my master TTYL!”
